Details:
Edwin autosaves files by overwriting the autosave file in place. If power is
lost during this process, the data on disk may reflect neither the old
autosave file nor the whole contents of the buffer. Instead, Edwin should
write to a temporary pathname, and when it is done, rename it to the permanent
autosave file pathname.
(Today my laptop caught GNU Emacs in the middle of autosaving a file when its
battery ran out of juice! I was not happy to find the autosave file
truncated, although fortunately in this case I had all the data elsewhere.)
